The song already has over 4.4M views with only 24 hours under its belt.

The secret? She simply took her time.

"I wanted my music to be a lot more meaningful, to be honest.... I just wanted to take my time," Gomez said. "I didn't want it to be crowded by over-glamorized things and the pop world can just be really distracting sometimes. This year, I did it at my own pace."

Even better, she's fully focused on the music she's putting out there – and has no plans of stopping in the future.

"I'm ready. I want to get back in and re-focus on all of my music," she said. "To be honest, I feel like I have two albums already completed, but I'm wanting to figure it out. So it's a lot sooner than I think people anticipate. I want to call the shots, I want it to be good, I want to be ready, I don't want to do anything that's forced."

Gomez's album news comes after the career hiatus she took last year to focus on health issues.
